I paid for the pavilion space #2 in the park. We hosted a Team Building event here. Plenty of space and perfectly shaded. We had about 25 people with plenty of space to spare. They had about 12 picnic tables made from some sort of resin plastic. Very heavy and difficult to move. Would not recommend moving these tables, especially on your own. Thankfully the parking deck is right next to the pavilion. There is a slight hill you have to.go.doen to get to the pavilion and if you need to go to your car, a slight hill up. Technically it is wheelchair assessable but like I mentioned it is on a hill so I would not recommend someone who is using a wheelchair to navigate own their own. The bathrooms are also located up a slight hill a few hundred feet away. Overall, it was a great event. We may book again.

This is a review of Grant Park, not the zoo. The park has many walking, jogging and biking trails. There are many mature trees that provide lots of shade. There were lots of people walking their dogs in the park, 25-30 by my count, and only one dog was off leash. Most of the dog owners were picking up their dog's poo. The park is full of very nice facilities: swimming pool, tennis courts, half and full basketball courts, soccer field, baseball field, picnic tables, pavilions, play grounds and, near the zoo entrance, men's and women's bathrooms. I entered a small, free, parking lot off of Park street and Sydney streets. There is a large, paid parking lot off of Cherokee street and a multilevel paid parking structure off of Boulevard st.

Great place for some one-on-one time or a family outing. Theres restrooms, refreshments and food on the trail. Lots of info cards and interesting facts. The staff is very excited, compassionate, and knowledgeable about the animals and their behavior.
Playground
The playground is more like a small amusement part. Theres a train you can ride that goes around the zoo. The have a rope climping obstacle course and an area for the kids to pet the goats.
Restrooms
Nice clean restrooms. They even had very small toilets for kids.
Picnic area
Lots of benches and tables to sit. First come first serve but the people are nice so you wont have a problem finding a place to eat.

Lions, tigers and sun bears, oh my! The zoo does not disappoint. Me and the grandkids had a ball. The train ride and the carousel were tops for me. We visited every bit of the zoo and made a day of it. I packed healthy snacks and water, you will need it. The food lines are quite long, but they have good options. Get a membership so that you don't have to squeeze everything in one day and you can enjoy it for a whole year. You will also get a discount in the gift shop. Of course I bought the kids a gift. Cool stuff is in the shop. There really is something for everyone and there are some reasonably priced items, $13.00. It was a great day and the kids slept on the way back.

For my last day in the deep south before going back to the south-west from Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson via Seattle, my amazing wife and I decided to do nearly 2 miles worth of walk round this beautiful park. I can see why many Atlantans are so in love with this open space, because it is absolutely VAST! It helped to calm my nerves before the flight, I felt really good, the weather was a balmy 61° and it was so beautiful. Thank you Georgia & Atlanta for your slice of southern hospitality and warmth. It was also amazing that from Level 4 of the parking lot, you get a bird's-eye view of the elephant enclosure at Zoo Atlanta for absolutely no cost.

One of the best parks I have been to in GA. Zoo ATL on the South end, great park w/pond, pavilions, gazebo, walking paths, playground, recreational facilities etc on the North end. Great park for chillaxing, playing tennis, basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming (pool), enjoying parties or eloping for a quiet/quick wedding on a quaint bridge under the lushes, shady trees. It's a bit disappointing to see the area around the recreational center building with an embarrassing amount of trash, debris & broken glass. I didn't go to the zoo this time.

Awesome awesome, great place for the whole family. Wheelchair accessible, parents can easily take their strollers for the kids or rent them, as well as the wheelchairs. (Motorized chairs/scooters as well) If kids get hot, they also have a mini Waterpark so they can refresh, so bring extra clothing or bathing suit as well.
Playground
They have the carousel, train, and water park for the kids to enjoy

Ice cream, pretzels, ect

I went to grand park bout 4:30pm to swim and to get cool but I wasnt let in because the were at companions of all the people were there it would have been closing time b 4 I got in so I left and went to a pool across town.that was a every day inaddicate position at that pool if u want to swim u better get ther when it first open or a couple of muns after open time it dont work any other way .....

Downfall is now you have to pay to park but $12 max ($3 an hour) for the whole day. Grounds are well maintained and it is a wonderful experience for a family. From giraffes, hippos, lions and bears oh my. Just kidding on the bears. Plenty of places to chill off in the summer heat. Food choices are limited but they supposedly have a nice restaurant to eat at. Enjoy your day at the zoo.

We actually went to Grant Park to use the new parking facility for the zoo. It was the first time that we had ever seen the park. The park itself is very beautiful because you walk through portions of it to get to the zoo. I will be visiting again just to enjoy the park itself.
Picnic area
There are several covered areas on the park grounds which would make great picnic areas

Definitely a fun place to spend an afternoon or morning. The only thing I'll say that could be better is to have some animals like giraffes and elephants. I believe they are adding a exhibit for elephants, so that is nice. Some of the staff were not very helpful, especially when asking where best to park once their lot filled up. Overall, it was a nice zoo and I'd probably return.

This Park is very peaceful and quiet. We had a great time there and meet so many fur friends along the way to the playground. It's definitely a good place to bring your children to play. The atmosphere was good. Nice place to exercise too. Especially because it's most definitely a hike back and forth from the playground to the parking lot.

Great place to go for walks, and you get to admire the beautiful skyline of Atlanta from within the park. Very beautiful and clean park and lots of water fountains, too, so you don't have to worry about getting dehydrated while you're out there in the heat. Everything is just walking distance too from within the park since you're in downtown.

Everything was clean and everyone there was great.. They enjoyed themselves as well..lots of laughs watching the kids explore all the animals and extremely educational..

Was roped into going the night after Thanksgiving during the Zoo's Illumination Festival. Big disappointment. My expectation when I go to the zoo is to see animals (the last zoo in the states where they have live pandas). I posted a picture of the only panda I saw. You can decide if this would be worth it to you.

I am so grateful for Grant Park. Each and every year I attend House in the Park every Labor Day weekend. I made new wonderful friends & made sure to take all of my trash away with me because its such a beautiful park. The park is most secure. One day I plan to become a volunteer. Thank you Grant Park 2023 !

It's beautiful, we loved the food farm, the play area for kids and it was very educative. We have to go back to see the big statues. Our time was well spent it was a very beautiful and wonderful experience for the family.
Playground
They have a nice one for kids with several activities to do

Grant Park is a beautiful urban park that offers a serene escape from the bustling city. Its lush green spaces, scenic trails, and iconic landmarks like the Grant Park Zoo make it a delightful destination for nature lovers. A perfect spot for picnics, leisurely walks, and enjoying the outdoors.

I went for a walk here for the first time today, its a small park. It'll take you about 20 minutes to walk in total. It has a small playground, pool, and its adjacent to Zoo Atlanta. The park itself wasn't busy at all, it was probably around 30 folks in the park at around 3pm on a Friday.

Conveniently located in the middle of Atlanta, large, spacious with plenty of stores, bars and businesses in the neat vicinity. The Atlanta Zoo is also located at the park. Great place for the family and a plethora of fun activities available... Worth the Trip!!! …

I've been to many zoo's in my life and I can honestly say this is the BEST one I've been to. Admission price is a bit on the expensive side, but I enjoyed myself. The animals outside are so close. The variety of frogs, snakes and birds were beautiful and very educational.

Nice park w/ covered pavilions and bbqs in-between the Zoo parking garage and Zoo entrance.
Picnic area
Covered pavilions. Some with large brick bbqs. Multiple bench/ table set ups. Would support larger gatherings. Saw signage in regards to renting for events.

Visiting from Cali... Grant Park is about 8 minutes away from the Air BNB I'm in. Great, quiet park, with a Zoo next door. A local who was in New York last week said it's like having Central Park to yourself.
Restrooms
They have restrooms...lol

We visited Zoo Atlanta for the Chinese Lantern event. The exhibts were life like and absolutely beautiful! The tour is self paced and took approximately 1 1/2 hours. I highly recommend it for the family. There is even a carosel for the kids. …

We had a nice time for the past two days at the Grant festival showing our support to the many vendors and our daughter company Utility Objects authentic one of a kind pottery . Oh on our visit we also meet this beautiful friendly dog name Lola

This is a nice large park in East Atlanta. Great for old school group, family and school outdoor gatherings and bbq’s. The Atlanta Zoo is attached to this park and you can see elephants from the area near the modern looking Parking deck side.

As a transplant from the Pacific Northwest, I have been drawn to seek out and explore many of Atlanta‘s green spaces. It’s my nature I suppose. And among Atlanta's more notable choices, Grant Park may well be my favorite owing to its dense

I love zoos they are a great learning park for anyone wanting to know about animal conservation. Here you can feed giraffes learn about their NEW safari enclosures, talk to the staff and become more aware of why we have zoos around. They

Had full day fun here. Good for kids, construction is in progress for elephants and giraffes. Big enough to cover in a day with kids..water splash zone and petting area were awesome. Kids love these two places there ..

Beautiful park for strolls. Les crowded than other parks around the city. Parking was $10 in the garage. The zoo is connected to the same parking garage. I would recommend if you want a peaceful park to walk around.

The Savanah room was George ours and getting to see some of the animals was icing on the cake. Along with the fact that we were able to hear Andrew Zimmerman, who is very entertaining and inspiring. Perfect day.

We attended the 60th annual Georgia State University Distinguished Alumni Dinner. The Savannah Room overlooking the elephants was fabulous! The conversion of the former Cyclorama was spectacular!

Awesome Park right next to the zoo. A lot of space for many things, ponds, Skate park, playground, and plenty of walking trails. My kids love it and we will be back again for our picnic …

The new parking deck and field are gorgeous. Grant Park is such an idyllic area, and it’s a great place to get outside and relax for a bit. I’m glad there’s so much more parking here now.

Really nice park but not very accessible with public transit. We took Marta as close as we could and still had to Uber. Walking dead filming sites around and then the zoo is super fun.

The park is super clean and peaceful, very scenic. Parked on the street to meet a friend for a morning meditation. Def a jewel in the city if you want to take a morning walk or jog.

A lovely walk through the zoo with a huge display of Chinese Lanterns. We also saw two Pandas. The park seemed very safe. Visit the animals by day or the lanterns by night.

This park is right there by the Atlanta zoo and is a good place to do exercise walking look at the nature i take some pictures from the zoo but some of them are from nature

Grant Park has made some changes and it's a much better place enjoy with family and friends. The picnic area we rent was really nice and not too far from the restrooms.

Wonderful place to spend some quality time. Atlanta Zoo is pretty large and an abode for a good amount of animals, reptiles and birds. Must visit place for children.

Came for the Atlanta Dessert Festival and truly enjoyed it! Nice pathway to walk along there are some benches and tables along the way and trees to sit under

I went to an event there. Parking was a mystery but we had a blast. They created a stage in the tennis court and had all types of vendors and food trucks.

Clean and beautyful. Visited with my 2 kids. It was a great event.
Playground
Frendly, kids enjoyed.
Restrooms
Clean, air conditioned.

So much fun. Lots of animals are not on exhibit due to the winter and it's a rather small zoo. However it was really fun and I loved the pandas.

A great place to walk. There's alot of shade if you want to avoid the sun but plenty of sunny spots to sit in the grass. Numerous picnic areas.

This is a beautiful park. It's very clean and well kept. Definitely a jewel in the city and a great place for kids, events, and fur babies.

Spacious, pet friendly and clean. I went for house in the park. Many food and drunk trucks. The atmosphere was welcoming. Had a great time

Would have given five stars if parking was more readily available for free. Had to pay zoo parking prices to visit just the park. More

It was nice. The zoo was a blast. If you haven't been lately get up and take the family and I promise everyone will love it. …

Plenty of clean walking trails and new picnic tables. Ample street parking all around so don’t worry about the parking garage.

Enjoyed the seniors health visit, thank you grant park and Carl Rowland for putting this event on and inviting me.

The zoo is centrally located. Lots to read to learn more about exhibits with focus on extinction, water resources.

$3 per hour parking, but not bad overall. I love the community and the Victorian style homes in the area.

Once.Again the talent DJ's showed up and showed out! Everyone was AMAZING and I had a GREAT time! …

Ran 3 miles in this park. Crazy hilly park and with a 90°+ weather it sure can give you a nice workout.

Nice park for walks and events. The zoo is also at this park. Could use a little better upkeep.

We love zoos and make it a point to visit every zoo possible. This zoo was a great experience.

Nice runs and walks here. Very dog friendly. Very hilly for runs though. Nice peaceful area.

Huge trees, zoo, great for dogs on a leash ir a nice walk

Went today for the House Music Festival. It was great! Can’t wait to go back next year.

Nice fall walk in the park. Leaves everywhere. Pleasant place to clear your mind.

Beautiful park. Very spacious and clean. Nice for family outings or solo.

Nicely maintained park. Cool to be able to look over into the zoo.

My daughter and I love walking here and hitting the playground.

Beautiful trees. Nice walking paths. Dog friendly. Feels safe.

My son loved his first visit! Definitely memories made!

We had a blast in the rain at the zoo!!!

Great food event at the zoo!

Great experience for kids!

My Family had a Great Day!
